How did you forget that?!

[Berit☀️✨]

I'm old my memory is short, LOL!
Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ OK maybe I'm cheering for Kyle, I think I went back-and-forth last book if she picks nobody I'm going to be pissed off!!! As an angry, doesn't pissed mean drunk and England??? (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

I'm reading a synopsis of The Heir before I get started. It's been a year, after all. I've read about 150 books between then!

Yes, Pissed can mean drunk or angry in the UK ☺

[Abi]

Berit wrote: "I'm old my memory is short, LOL!
Chapter 4 [spoilers removed]"

It can mean either here. :)

[Berit☀️✨]

Chapter 10(view spoiler)[ i'm thinking this new guy is trouble, I mean they haven't brought him in yet, but I hope he's trouble, I want some more drama, LOL! Please don't have her pick Henry! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Starting this now!! So excited

Yes I will be mad too!

[Berit☀️✨]

Chapter 16(view spoiler)[ OK, I don't see this happening, as if they are going to let her be queen??? As a mother you are super stressed at your job, so you give it to your teenage daughter to do??? Unbelievable! America step up girl! (hide spoiler)]

[Berit☀️✨]

OK, some of this I saw coming, some of this I didn't chapter 20(view spoiler)[ I saw the Eric thing coming, I had a little feeling about Hale especially after he altered her dress, but then I thought I was just stereotyping, did not see that Ian thing coming, but I was wondering why he was even around. (hide spoiler)]

[Olea]

Can I join?

[Berit☀️✨]

Of course you can!
Chapter 23(view spoiler)[ I have to say this girl has really matured in this book, maybe she will make it as queen! But now she is starting to doubt herself, don't doubt yourself!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Berit☀️✨]

Just finished! I really enjoy this!
(view spoiler)[ for a while I was going crazy thinking she was picking a certain somebody, thank goodness!!! I think this was ended very well, and what tremendous growth and a character throughout these two books (hide spoiler)]

I am glad you enjoyed it. I hated this book so much it made me cry. It was so rushed for me.

[Beatrice]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[so far I'm liking it but I have a bad feeling my ship will sink (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Chapter 11 - 13 (view spoiler)[My ship is slowly sinking and I'm in denial. I can see why Eadlyn likes Erik.. still... gaah! (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Yomna wrote: "Beatrice wrote: "Chapter 11 - 13 [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Yes. I'm actually rooting for him. I don't care if it's predictable. (hide spoiler)]

[Olea]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[I was laying down when I read the words "your mother is awake" I just bolted up right and then tears stared running down my cheeks and than I cried for the rest of the chapter (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ yeah it's fine! I was rooting for Kile too (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Starting late :/
Chapter 1
(view spoiler)[ I already feel bad for Eadlyn here. This is a big responsibility for her to take on. More than her father had. At least he never had to rule during the Selection. (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

Chapter 8: (view spoiler)[I'm glad Gunner decided to bow out of the competition on his own. If you don't have chemistry, there's no point.(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Berit wrote: "Just started, I had forgot America[spoilers removed]"

Don't feel bad. I'd forgotten that too. It took me a minute to remember the end of The Heir

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[ Is it bad that I've given up on any relationship at this point? It seems like all the guys have just run together because she never spends any time with them. I get that she has other responsibilities, which I like. She's acting like a queen and it's great that she doesn't spend the entire book fawning over a guy, but this is still The Selection series. Let's see the Selection already! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 6
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I agree, she didn't seem to spend much time with the boys at all. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[ Right now the only guy left that I like is Erik and he isn't even an option :/ (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

Ashley wrote: "Chapter 10
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Leave no man out! In my opinion, Erik is totally an option! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 16 (view spoiler)[ Okay I'm kind of bored up to this point.. I think Eady ascending is a bit ludicrous... There isn't really a good reason for her to do so at this point.. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 18 (view spoiler)[ Oh my gosh Hale & Ean!! Didn't see that coming (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Sarah wrote: "Tati wrote: "Sarah wrote: "chapter 6 [spoilers removed]"

I'm rooting for him, tbh"

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ There's always Erik! lol (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Abby wrote: "Ashley wrote: "Chapter 10
[spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I really hope so. It's so obvious that he likes her. And she definitely trusts him and its easier to talk to him. There isn't all that stress with him. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 16 [spoilers removed]"

Seriously!! It is def. lacking that

Ashley wrote: "Berit wrote: "Just started, I had forgot America[spoilers removed]"

Chapter 6
[spoilers removed]"

Yes! I totally agree

[Ashley W]

Chapter 13
So frustrated!
(view spoiler)[ She could have just had a really nice moment with Hale, but it just fell flat. The only semi-romantic thing that's happened is her ALMOST kiss with Henri! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 23 (view spoiler)[ I kind of never trusted this Marid kid... Figured he would pull something like this.. At least it stirs up the drama a little bit. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 28 (view spoiler)[ What a sudden 360 Josie has done.. I hated her in the last book and now we are made to like her? (hide spoiler)]

[Berit☀️✨]

Rachael wrote: "Chapter 28 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ A lot of maturing going on in this book, but I might have liked her better when she was a complete B***** (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Chapter 34 (view spoiler)[ Yeppppp I knew she was going to destroy the monarchy! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

Finished...(view spoiler)[ I actually quite liked how it wrapped up! A little rushed but... it just had to be that way! A definite, beautiful ending. That epilogue was so beautiful and well written (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Rachael wrote: "Chapter 28 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I feel like it's just too late to change a character like that. It was different with Celeste where we had time to get to see the real her. We never got that with Josie. (hide spoiler)]

[Meaghan]

Berit wrote: "Of course you can!
Chapter 23[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I agree! She has matured so much since the beginning of Book 4! I hope she doesn't doubt herself too much though. Some self reflection is good, so she doesn't just blindly believe all her decisions are right, but still, too much will ruin her personality. (hide spoiler)]
